20:1	After that the rage was ceased, Paul called the dyscyples vnto hym, and toke hys leaue of them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
20:2	And when he had gone ouer those partyes, and had geuen them a longe exhortacyon, he cam into Grece
20:3	& there abode .iij. monethes. And when the Iewes layde wayt for him as he was about to sayle into Syria, he purposed to returne thorow Macedonia.
20:4	Ther accompanied him into Asia, Sopater of Berrea, and of Thessalonia, Aristarcus and Secundus, and Gayus of Derba, & Timotheus, & out of Asia Tychicus and Trophimus.
20:5	These goynge before, taryed vs at Troas.
20:6	And we sayled awaye from Philippos after the dayes of swete bread, and cam vnto them to Troas in fyue dayes, where we abode seuen dayes.
20:7	And vpon one of the Saboth dayes, whan the disciples came together for to breake breed Paul preached vnto them (ready to departe on the morowe) & continued the preaching vnto mydnyght.
20:8	And there were many lyghtes in the chamber, where we were gathered together,
20:9	& ther sate in a wyndowe a certayne yonge man (named Euticus) beinge fallen into a depe sleepe. And as Paul was preachinge, he was the more ouercome with slepe, and fell downe from the thyrde lofte, & was taken vp deed.
20:10	But whan Paul went doune, he fell on him & embrased him and sayde: make nothynge a do, for his lyfe is in hym.
20:11	So when he was come vp agayne, & had broken the bread & eaten, and talcked a longe whyle (euen tyll the mornyng) at the last he departed.
20:12	And they brought the yonge man alyue, & were not a lytell conforted.
20:13	And we went afore to shyppe, & lowsed vnto Asson there to receaue Paul. For so had he appoynted, and wolde hym selfe goo a fote.
20:14	When we were come together at Asson, we toke him in, & came to Mytilenes.
20:15	And we sayled thence, and cam the nexte daye ouer agaynst Chios. And the nexte daye we ariued at Samos, & taried at Trogylon. The nexte daye we came to Myleton:
20:16	for Paul had determined to sayle ouer by Ephesus, because he wolde not spende the tyme in Asia. For he hasted (yf it were possible for him) to kepe at Ierusalem the daye of Pentecoste.
20:17	And from Myleton he sent messaungers to Ephesus, & called the elders of the congregacion.
20:18	Which when they were come to him, he layd vnto them: Ye knowe from the fyrst daye that I cam into Asia, after what maner I haue bene wt you at all ceasons,
20:19	seruynge the Lorde with all humblenes of mynde, and with many teares & temptacions which happened vnto me by the layinges awayte of the Iewes,
20:20	because I wolde kepe backe nothynge that was profitable vnto you: but to shewe you and teache you openly, & thorowe out euery house,
20:21	witnessynge both to the Iewes, & also to the Grekes, the repentaunce, that is toward God, & the fayth which is toward oure Lorde Iesus.
20:22	And now beholde I go bounde in the sprete vnto Ierusalem, not knowing the thinges that shal come on me there,
20:23	but the the holy goost witnesseth in euery cytie, saying. that bandes and trouble abyde me.
20:24	But none of these thinges moue me nether is my lyfe deare vnto my selfe, that I might fulfyll my course with ioye, and the ministracyon which I haue receaued of the Lorde Iesu, to testifye the Gospell of the grace of God.
20:25	And now beholde, I am sure, that henceforth ye all (thorow whom I haue gone preachynge the kyngdom of God) shall se my face no more.
20:26	Wherfore, I take you to recorde this daye that I am pure from the bloude of all men.
20:27	For I haue spared no laboure, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God.
20:28	Take hede therfore vnto youre selues & to all the flocke amonge whom the holy ghost hath made you ouersears, to rule the congregacyon of God which he hath purchased with his bloude.
20:29	For I am sure of thys, that after my departynge shall greueous wolues entre in amonge you, not sparyng the flocke.
20:30	Moreouer, of youre awne selues shall men arise, speaking peruerse thinges to drawe disciples after them.
20:31	Therfore awake, & remember, that by the space of .iij. yeres: I ceased not to warne euery one of you nyght and daye with teares.
20:32	And now brethren, I commende you to God and to the worde of his grace, which is able to build farther, & to geue you an inheritaunce amonge all them which are sanctifyed
20:33	I haue desyred no mans syluer, golde, or vesture.
20:34	Yee, ye your selues knowe that these handes haue ministred vnto my necessyties, & to them that were with me.
20:35	I haue shewed you all thinges, how that so laboring ye ought to receaue the weake, & to remember the wordes of the Lorde Iesu, how that he sayd: it is more blessed to geue then to receaue.
20:36	And when he had thus spoken, he kneled downe and prayed with them all.
20:37	And they all wepte sore and fell on Pauls necke, and kyssed hym,
20:38	sorowynge, most of all for the wordes which he spake, that they shulde se hys face nomore. And they conuayed hym vnto the shyppe.


20:1	And aftir the noise ceesside, Poul clepide the disciplis, and monestide hem, and seide fare wel; and he wente forth, to go in to Macedonye.
20:2	And whanne he hadde walkid bi tho coostis, and hadde monestid hem bi many wordis, he cam to Greece.
20:3	Where whanne he hadde be thre monethis, the Jewis leiden aspies for hym, that was to saile in to Sirie; and he hadde counsel to turne ayen bi Macedonye.
20:4	And Sosipater of Pirri Boroense folowide hym; of Thessolonycenses, Astirak, and Secoundus, and Gayus Derbeus, and Tymothe; and Asians, Titicus and Trofimus.
20:5	These for thei wenten bifore, aboden vs at Troade.

20:7	And in the first dai of the woke, whanne we camen to breke breed, Poul disputide with hem, and schulde go forth in the morew;
20:8	and he drow along the sermoun til in to mydnyyt. And many laumpes weren in the soler, where we weren gaderyd togidir.
20:9	And a yong man, Euticus bi name, sat on the wyndowe, whanne he was fallun in to an heuy sleep, while Poul disputide long, al slepynge he felle doun fro the thridde stage; and he was takun vp, and was brouyt deed.
20:10	To whom whanne Poul cam doun, he lay on hym, and biclippide, and seide, Nyle ye be troblid; for his soule is in hym.
20:11	And he wente vp, and brak breed, and eete, and spak ynowy vnto the dai; and so he wente forth.
20:12	And thei brouyten the childe alyue, and thei weren coumfortid greetli.
20:13	And we wenten vp in to a schip, and schippiden in to Asson, to take Poul fro thennus; for so he hadde disposid to make iourney bi loond.
20:14	And whanne he foond vs in Asson, we token hym, and camen to Mitilene.
20:15	And fro thennus we schippiden in the dai suynge, and we camen ayens Chyum, and another dai we hauenyden at Samum, and in the dai suynge we camen to Mylete.
20:16	And Poul purposide to schip ouer to Efesi, lest ony tariyng were maad to hym in Asie; for he hiyede, if it were possible to hym, that he schulde be in the dai of Pentecost at Jerusalem.
20:17	Fro Mylete he sente to Effesi, and clepide the grettest men of birthe of the chirche.
20:18	And whanne thei camen to hym, and weren togidir, he seide to hem, Ye witen fro the firste dai, in which Y cam in to Asie, hou with you bi eche tyme Y was,

20:22	And now lo! Y am boundun in spirit, and go in to Jerusalem; and Y knowe not what thingis schulen come to me in it,
20:23	but that the Hooli Goost `bi alle citees witnessith to me, and seith, that boondis and tribulaciouns at Jerusalem abiden me.
20:24	But Y drede no thing of these, nether Y make my lijf preciousere than my silf, so that Y end my cours, and the mynysterie of the word, which Y resseyuede of the Lord Jhesu, to witnesse the gospel of the grace of God.
20:25	And `now lo! Y woot, that ye schulen no more se my face, alle ye bi whiche Y passide, prechynge the kingdom of God.
20:26	Wherfor Y witnesse to you this day, that Y am cleen of the blood of alle men.

20:36	And whanne he hadde seid these thingis, he knelide, and he preiede with alle hem.
20:37	And greet weping of alle men was maad; and thei felden on the necke of Poul, and kissiden hym,
20:38	and sorewiden moost in the word that he seide, for thei schulen no more se his face. And thei ledden hym to the schip.


20:1	Now whan the vproure was ceassed, Paul called the disciples vnto him, and toke his leue of them, and departed to go in to Macedonia.
20:2	And whan he had gone thorow those partes, and exhorted them with many wordes, he came into Grekelonde,
20:3	and there abode thre monethes. But whan the Iewes layed wayte for him, as he was aboute to sayle in to Syria, he purposed to turne agayne thorow Macedonia.
20:4	There accompanied him in to Asia, Sopater of Berrea: and of Thessalonica, Aristarchus and Secundus: and Gaius of Derba, and Timotheus: but of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
20:5	These wente before, and taried for vs at Troada:

20:8	And there were many lightes in the chamber, where they were gathered together.
20:9	There sat a yonge man named Eutychos, in a wyndow, and fell in to a depe slepe (whyle Paul was speakinge) and was ouercome with slepe, and fell downe from the thirde lofte, and was taken vp deed.

20:15	and sayled from thence, and came on the nexte daye ouer agaynst Chios, and on the daye folowinge we aryued at Samos, and taried at Tragilion, and on the nexte daye came we to Mileton:
20:16	for Paul had determed to sayle ouer by Ephesus, that he nede not to spende the tyme in Asia: for he haisted to be at Ierusalem vpo the Whitsondaye, yf it were possible for him.
20:17	But from Mileton he sent vnto Ephesus, and called for the Elders of the congregacion.
20:18	Whan they were come to him, he sayde vnto them: Ye knowe sence the first daye that I came in to Asia, after what maner I haue bene with you at all tyme,
20:19	and serued ye LORDE with all humblenesse of mynde, and with many teares and tentacions, which happened vnto me by ye layenges of wayte of the Iewes,
20:20	how yt I haue kepte backe nothinge yt was profitable, but that I haue shewed you, and taughte you openly, and priuately from house to house.
20:21	And haue testifyed both vnto the Iewes & to the Grekes the repentaunce towarde God, and faith towarde oure LORDE Iesus.
20:22	And now beholde, I go bounde in ye sprete vnto Ierusale, not knowinge what shal happen there vnto me,
20:23	but yt the holy goost witnesseth in euery cite, and sayeth, that bondes and troubles abyde me there.
20:24	But I regarde none of them, nether counte I my life dearer then my selfe, that I maye fulfyll my course with ioye, and the office yt I haue receaued of the LORDE Iesu, to testifye the Gospell of the grace of God.
20:25	And now beholde, I knowe that ye shal se my face nomore, all ye, thorow whom I haue gone, and preached the kyngdome of God.
20:26	Wherfore I take you to recorde this daye, that I am pure from the bloude of all men:
20:27	For I haue kepte nothinge backe, but haue shewed you all the councell off God.
20:28	Take hede therfore vnto youre selues, and to all the flocke, amonge the which the holy goost hath set you to be Bishoppes, to fede the congregacion of God, which he hath purchaced thorow his owne bloude.
20:29	For this I knowe, that after my departinge there shal enter in amonge you greuous wolues, which shal not spare the flocke.
20:30	Yee eue from amonge youre awne selues shal men aryse, speakynge peruerse doctryne, to drawe disciples after them.
20:31	Therfore awake, and remembre, that by the space of thre yeares I ceassed not to warne euery one off you both nighte and daye with teares.
20:32	And now brethren I commende you vnto God, and to ye worde of his grace, which is mightie to edifye you, and to geue you the enheritaunce amoge all them that are sanctified.
20:33	I haue not desyred syluer, golde or rayment off eny off you.

20:36	And whan he had sayde this, he kneled downe, and prayed with them all.
20:37	But there was moch wepynge amonge them all, and they fell aboute Pauls necke, and kyssed him,
20:38	and were sory, most of all because of the worde which he had sayde, that they shulde se his face nomore. And they accopanied him vnto the shippe.
